I have a horrible tendency
to buy musical instruments and then fail to learn to play them.
Money spent thus far: about £3k
instruments bought: 5
tunes I can play without causing passing small children and kittens to cry: about the same.

feel free to give me musical instruments that you no longer want to have around

I bet they look nice on display though?
(is there a guitar on a stand in your living room?)

See, this is
the silly part. I would sooner sell my arm on the black market (can you get much for an arm these days?) than sell any of my instruments. Even the bongos, which were a pissed 3am ebay purchase.
And no, my guitar has to live in its case, for my living room is tiny and already has a piano in it.

I suppose a piano is more impressive than a guitar
(even if you can only play 3 blind mice)

Actually
the piano I can play not too shabbily - I just haven't touched the poor thing for about 18 months. The guitar is a purple telecaster, although I haven't touched that in even longer - and I was only ever able to knock out a bit of Oasis and Greenday to start with...

I often strum my purple telecaster in the privacy of my own home...
